This is a Custom switchblade made by James Huckeba in the 1990s. Jim's knives are pretty recognizable by his flush round button, linerless & bolsterless scaled knives. This knife measures 4 3/8" closed and 7.5 inches open. The scales are Micarta and not completely finished. The matte finish straight back blade is full and sterile with no marking. Jim's knives work very smoothly. The blades are fired by a coil spring. The blade tip seats deep, fires Strong and locks up tight, as all of his knives seem to do. The reason that I think this is a prototype is that it's unfinished and all of Jim's knives have beautiful finish. The button hole is rough cut and scales not completely sanded. Three open holes on the back scale. I don't think he would have sold a knife like this, so it makes sense that it would be a prototype, or maybe a "shop knife" for Jim? Jim is no longer with us, but his knives will help his legend to live on as one of America's top custom automatic knife makers.
